Films are made of merchant vessel sinkings and taken home to be shown to the German populace to give m idea of the dangera of the deep. Details of how a German submarine >f the larger type commandeered the >ig Norwegian steamer Norefos and 'sed her as a tow boat for weeks at a ime in the Atlantic were related here ecently by members of her crew. The Norefos was overtaken by the Terman submarine off the Canapy Is ands early this year. Two German aval officers and fourteen sailors vere sent aboard as a prize boat crew. Then the submarine departed on a irating expedition, the Germans on he Norefos adjusting the wireless ap aratus so as to 'be able to keep in !ommunication with the undersea )oat. On this trip the submarine was cone eight days, and upon her return :o the Norefos the sailors heard that the had been in seaich of a British 'leet of merchantmen from the oth ?r side of the Atlantic. The submarine the:n tied up to tha Vorefos, and fer two weeks the Nore os roamed the -eaI with the submarine in tow, as the U-boat was s iort of Fuel. The Nerefos soon ran short of fuel and an effort wats made to utilize zreen peanuts from the cargo, but they soon developed a gas which mused -nunero'is small v'xp!o ions in the fire boxes .nd created such a tream of sparks through the funnels :hat the ship nearly caught fire. So no more peanuts w !re used, and for several diays the NoreP's walloved along with the wind and tide. When rther shins were lighter th'* Germans infurled the Norwegian flag. f!ag. Afte? another two weeks' cruise the Df the cargo of rubber, the prize crew returned to the supersubmarine, the Norwegians were ordered into life boats and the Norefos was sunk by ' the bombs exploded ih her hold. The motion picture operator on the U-boat. rook film records of all the important events, starting with the seizure and the developments of the voyage with each return of the U-boat to-the ship. The Norwegian sailors were in life boats several (lays, being picked up by a French steamer and several I w'veks ago they arrived in Christiania, sfter an absence of five months. -W--S-S ROUMANIA IS DESOLA''E FROM HUNS' RAVAGES London Correspondence- Rumania L is a desolate and barren country today -an awful object lesson of the cost of war. Two years ago it was one of the garden countries of the world, teeming with agricultural wealth and prosperity. More than 750,000 Russian soldiers lived in it and on it for near ly a year, and they left very little be hid them. Anyone who has known Rumania as she was when peace was forced upon her by the Central Powers, . must be convinced that it will be years before Germany can draw from her fields and orchards any very valuable trib ute. , ,.~ Nor is the Gx'rman control of Ru mania's petroleum production likely to be av(ry . profitable investment, for some time to come. In the so-called "occupied territories," the destruction of the oil fields was so complete that Germany after fifteen months of ef fort is able to nelsure her supplies from this source in quarts. In the rest of Rumania it is doubt ful if production can be much -ink' creased beyond that of the past year and during the past year petroleum. has been one of the scarcest articles in the country, obtainable only under plersonal andl special license from the government. D~uring the m iddfle of the winter, the Associated Press correspondent madle a tour of insp~ect ion around per'lhaps a score of the front ier towns where the largest proportion of re*fugel' 1)op ulation had been dlump~ed in the hur redl retreat before the German hosts. Cond(1itions were serious beyond de scription, but the major pytofthe suffering was dlue to fammna -ratl' r than exposure. .The shortage of food was such thatl in many instances refugees were seen in the fields eating-or attempting to eat--grass. Terrible as was the plight of the ' people of these refugee (list rict s in war time, they can hope for little al leviat ion wvith the coming of a forced peace. P'ractical~r no harvests can be e'xpectedi this year~ in these dlistricts, for no seed will bie available, and, rnoreover there are no agricultural i m plements left, nor any horses or draft animals of any kind. Thousands of Rumanian horses died of starvation liuring the winter, for tue peasants were too exhausted in caring for their ' own uneeds to make any attempt to provide for their boasts. In France the horses would have been put to good use as meat for hu man food, but the Rumanian peasant 'I hans an .abhorrence of horse flesh for meat.
